RISE TIME
FACTOR
(760 only)
Pressure above PEEP
maintained during
spontaneous inspiration.
Support pressure is
terminated when inspiratory
flow falls to 25% of peak
inspiratory flow, or to the
exhalation sensitivity setting
(760 only), or 10 L/min or 25%
of peak flow, whichever is
lower (740 only). Maximum
inspiratory time is 3.5 seconds
for adults, and 2.5 seconds for
pediatric patients.
The time for inspiratory
pressure to rise from 0 to 95%
of the target pressure level
during a PSV breath.
A setting of 100 = a 100-ms
rise time, and a setting of
5 = 80% of the inspiratory
time or 1500 ms (when adult
ventilator breathing circuit is
selected) or 600 ms (when
pediatric circuit is selected),
whichever is less.
When you adjust this setting,
the message window shows
the actual time (in seconds) to
reach 95% of target pressure.
